It’s time for another Star Trek movie!
We’re looking at Wrath of Khan, the supposed best Star Trek movie, which means we’ll also be watching the Star Trek episode which introduced us to 90’s icon Khan Noonien Singh, a man who thinks himself Kirk’s greatest nemesis. Will he be? And where will these episodes rank on our big list?
Timecodes:
18:56 TOS: Space Seed
55:15 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Talking points include: Diving into an ongoing comic partway through a run, the Venture Bros Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, Strangers with Candy, The Prisoner, American Gods, HP Lovecraft: somehow less bad than Jowling Kowling Rowling, Legend of the Overfiend, Tenet, Randy Old Scouse Git, meeting famous historical figures and shoving them in a locker (Charlie) or having a drink with them (Miles), Jurassic Park, Falling Down, The Dawson, Madness, latter era Paul McCartney, the best Bond songs, the genre films of 1982, the exorbitant Casual Trek CGI budget, Space Jam, Jarvis Cocker’s 1996 Brit Stage Invasion, Taskmastering your Kobayashi Maru, the giant plug from the end of Lost, re-evaluating the Star Wars prequels, James Bond, D-List Batman Villains, the MCU release model, the legacy of Kirsty Allie, Marvel’s surprisingly good Star Wars comics, WotC’s latest controversies (unless more have happened between recording and releasing this), Street Fighter the Movie. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
